I’m a four-time nationally certified trainer with over 20 years of experience. I’ve also spent the same amount of time writing fitness and health articles for hundreds of print and online publications including HuffPo, MSN, Better Homes & Gardens, Family Circle and many more.

In the process, I’ve talked to the top leaders in the field of weight loss, fitness and health. I even won a couple of awards.

Through my 61 years on this planet, I’ve learned this important fact: A fit body after 50 isn’t about being skinny, being about to leap tall buildings in a single bound or outrun your grandkids. It's about being the best version of YOU, so you can do what you want with ease, energy and strength.

I'm here to help you achieve that.

Pour yourself a cup of green tea, dive into my blogs, check out my programs and let me know how I can help you. I believe in you!

How to feel better about yourself (and why it’s more important than you think) VIDEO

How often do we ask someone, “So, how are ya?” — and get the truth? The response is usually an autoresponder, “Fine! How are YOU?” when the reality is far from “fine.”

After 50, the REAL story is often fraught with the latest aches, pains, doctor’s appointment or other things we’d rather not discuss.

Because here’s the thing: What you focus on expands. And no, this is not some woo-woo concept.

Simply stated, if you put your energy into the negative, it makes you more aware of it. If you’ve ever had a bad day when you were angry about something, you probably found you ran into a lot of other, angry people.

It’s similar to buying a blue car and suddenly seeing all the blue cars on the freeway. You never noticed them before you owned one. Now they’re literally surrounding you.

So feeling good about yourself is important to keep yourself going in the right direction and taking care of yourself.

Below is a live broadcast I recorded on Facebook on this subject I wanted to share with you. There’s a bit of an intro you can skip (unless you don’t know me and would like to hear a bit about my background) and I get into the gist of things at around 7 minutes.
